Confirmed: Apple Uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass in iPhones

How Steve Jobs got Corning to revive their, then-shelved, “gorilla glass” product for the iPhone is well documented in Jobs’ biography. However, there has been no official admission outside the book, from either of these companies about their relationship.

While Apple has used Corning’s Gorilla in the first few generations of the iPhone, it hasn’t been clear if Apple is using Gorilla Glass in iPhone 4 and now the iPhone 4S.

Apple seems to have confirmed that it does, in the newly posted “Job Creation” page, where Apple says that it has created more than 500,000 jobs in the U.S., directly or indirectly.

An extract from the page:

Corning employees in Kentucky and New York who create the majority of the glass for iPhone

its a shame the lcd behide it cant take the same stress when glued to the glass so ends up binned anyway

I totally was thinking that very thing! And they bend the glass to test, when it’s shock and sharp objects that causes shatter!!!! Not bending, the phones body prevents that type of stress!

Yes I guess we knew that already but whole point of this demo is pressure damage. Now think about variants when your phone gets damage by pressure, well you may seat on it but usually you dropping the damn thing now this is totally different ball game. If I am not mistaking this is stress damage and have nothing to do with pressure. Give me a glass that you can drop from 6 foot on concrete and nothing happens then we’ll talk. On another side of the story is scratch proof and I think iPhone is somewhat scratch proof but it’s good idea to get screen protector, always. I may be wrong on some of the points but in general you’re getting where I’m coming from.
